Life Cycle Solutions (LCS), Masters of the Product Process
Equation™, was founded in 1992 a few years prior to the PDM
industry transitioning from merely a document and engineering data
management industry, to the PLM industry, fulfilling the needs of
many of the cross functional disciples in the entire product life
cycle. LCS knew then what everyone else was just grasping. We knew
that by capturing, managing and distributing product knowledge
electronically, and by implementing documented, measurable and
repeatable processes, companies could achieve and sustain a
significant competitive advantage.

At that time, much of our client engagement
involved the customization and implementation of PDM/PLM products.
As we and the rest of the world matured on the concept of PLM, it
became apparent that when managing product related information,
the best solutions are a blend of process improvement and
technology implementation. For over 2 decades, LCS helped clients
succeed at both.

It is by having the correct data available and the business
processes under control that the competitive advantage is achieved
and sustained. LCS engaged in strategic initiatives at some of the
world's best-known companies requiring our utmost
confidentiality and respect for proprietary information and
activity. Our professionals were passionate and committed to
applying what we knew to improve our client company's ability to
produce higher quality products more quickly and economically than
ever before. We did not just help our clients get more products to
market faster; we helped institutionalize processes to get the
right products to market optimally.

LCS was known throughout the world as an independent, PLM solution
provider that induced strategic business gains for its customers
through:

Business process transformation,

Secure collaboration between business partners, and

Development of business plans with solid risk mitigation to execute on their strategy.

The impact and success of LCS’ business transformation engagements cascaded into a business model shift. Clients engaged LCS to perform strategic transformations more than PLM implementations themselves. As a result, Mark J. Silvestri, the CEO and one of the original co-founders of LCS, founded TransR Corporation in 2011. The new business model centers on targeted business process transformation deploying the caliber of resources to effectively help our clients achieve the transformation.

"TransR provides critical business process architects and change
agents who deliver the drive, vision, and cross-functional
knowledge to lead the transformation of your enterprise. Our
consultants utilize advanced methods, skills, and technologies to
help organizations improve their overall effectiveness and
performance. Once the business vision, strategy and tactics are
methodically clarified, TransR implements solutions, custom and
COTS, to institutionalize, reinforce, and enable the processes
that support the vision. TransR emphasizes and implements
solutions to organize, and increase the accuracy, consistency and
completeness of product information. Lastly, TransR creates custom
solutions, where COTS solutions fail, to enable mobile friendly
and secure web and cloud applications."
